THE MICHIGAN DAILY T ' z University Women Tr Modern Methods Prevail In China Says Miss Wong Chinese colleges .of the present time are not greatly different from those in America, according to the report of Priscilla Wong, grad, who has come from Canton, China this. fall to take special work in sociology at this University. She is a resident of the Adelia Cheever house. Miss Wong is a graduate of the Canton Christian college. This, like most of the large schools in China, was estalished by missionaries, and most of the work is given in English. Several of the colleges encourage co- education, although this custom is not followed in the secondary schools. Athletics have their place in the curriculum of a Chinese school as well as in the American school, and a Michigan student who visits China need not be lonesome for the sight or a game of basket-ball, base-ball, vol- ley-ball, or football,. Dormitories are also a feature of their school life Miss Wong states that at the schools where she has been, the living quar- ters are somewhat similar to those -of our own large dormitories, with the exception that, in the secondary school dormitories, there are often three or four girls in a room. These modern conditions prevail in the schools in the region of Shanghai, Canton, and Pekin, but are found less often in the interior.

Miss Chang is also from Canton, but she left China for America ten years ago when the old system of education was still practically the onlyone in China;. Miss Chang obtained he early education in a small school for girls, conducted in a temple or some other public building where the stu- dents were even required to furnish their own desks. Most of the time was spent in learning to read and write the Chinese characters, and to draw. Both of the women expect to go back to their own country as teach- ers becase, in the words of Miss Chang, "Over here there are so many who are well equipped, and one should give to one's country some of what one has learned." Foreign Students DiscussMichigan Michigan is a hard place in which to get acquainted, because it is large, but for that reason also it has more to offer, in the opinion of the six for eign students at Betsy Barour house. Three of the six, Taus Jodai, grad.. Yae Tanaka, '27, Hide Shohara, '26, are Japanese, and the otherthreeI Anna Lan, grad., Imay Jong, '28M, and Hsiao Lu, '27 are Chinese. Most of them have taken a leading part in student activities in their native col leges. Some of their customs, they explain, are noticeably different from those of our country. In gymnasium work more stress is laid on calisthenics than specialized athletics. The wom en find it very difficult to get ove their nervousness in playing hockey which seems a strange game to them. Church customs also seem differ- ent to them. "Nothing is quite the same as we have ben taught but we love to hear the singing," one of them said. They cannot understand wh most American students take re- ligious matters so lightly. To them the churiwh is the most important thing in their lives. All of these women believe that' they should retain the characteristici life of their nationality because it is most natural for them, but they are anxious to learn all about the Amen can social service work, schools and public health work. Americanization work interests them a great deal be- cause their. population is born to the soil and they have no such problem. Betsy Barbour 'is an ideal place to live, they think. There a foreign woman can become better acquaint- ed with American life and ideals ana fell more at home than at college or church functions. Explain Chinese Familiar Names Cho Ren, '27M, and Yi Fong Wu, grad., come to Michigan from Ginling College, China. Both expect to get doctor's degrees before leaving, Miss Ren in medicine, and Miss Wu in biology. "We had heard many nice things about Michigan before we came here but it is better than we expected," Miss Wu says of the University. "Everyone is friendly, but I guess our names bother people." Chinese children, she says, are not given anything but a pet name until they are of school age. The name a: child receives at the age of five or six is the name he uses outside of the fam- ily for the rest of his life but the familiar name is always used in the family.

She received the bach- ellor's degree from Ohio university where she spent two years as a gov- ernment student of the Franco-Ameri- can exchange. Previous to that time Miss Steinfeld studied at Lycee de Jeune Filles at Strasbourg Bas-Rhin, in Alsace. "Foreign universities are only for graduate work-perhaps that accounts for the difference in foreign and Am- erican university life," said Miss Steinfeld. "There is no social life at foreign universities. There are no dormitories, no sororities, no fra- ternities. Any clubs that may be or- ganized are for intellectual purposes only. A paper such as your Michigan Daily is not necessary; an officialj bulletin of an entirely scientific na- ture takes care of important class notices."I When Miss Steinfeld was told that' she would not see the representative Michigan spirit until she witnessed the demonstration at Ferry Field dur' ing a big foot-ball game, she said she didn't expect to see any of the games. "They are too exciting for me," she said, "I get too nervous." Miss Steinfeld is living at the Mar- tha Cook building. A dinner table in Attracts Students Students comerto Michigan from all parts of the world but it is decidedly unusual to see on our campus the native costume of the Hindu woman. E. K. Janaki, grad., comes to the University from Malabar, in south India, to do special work in the nat- ural sciences. Miss Janaki holds two degrees from Madras Christian Col- lege, Madras, South India. She says college work in India and at Michi- gan cannot be comparced because it is very different but she comes to Michi- gan for the wide opportunity it offers to do research work in her chosen line of study. William T. Tilden II, who is about as good a tennis player as there is in the world today is to leave the courts for the stage. The latest reports have it that he will join Stewart Walker's company sometime in November, al- though before that he was rumored to be headed for the movies. Johnny Lavan, former infielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, will manage the Kansas City club of the Ameri- can Association next year.
